Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Greek Ecclesiastical Historians of the First Six Centuries of the Christian Era, Vol. 1 of 6 The Translator desires to present the following pages to the English reader, as, in many respects, an interesting memorial of that eventful period in the world´s history to which they mainly refer. At the same time he would earnestly disclaim any intention of hereby sanctioning the thought, too commonly entertained, that the general external profession of Christianity by the nations of the Roman empire at this period is to be regarded as a distinct blessing from the hand of God. If it be contended that the vision of the Cross (which stands forth as the emperor´s warrant for the authoritative promulgation of Christianity as the religion of the world) is to be received as a true miracle, because no evidence can be adduced to prove the contrary, we need not fear to concede the point. We must, however, be permitted seriously to question whether this miracle, the ostensible object of which was the compulsory establishment, by the sword of war wherever necessary, of the religion of the Prince of Peace, can be received as of heavenly origin; though doubtless permitted by Him who is able to cause the worst manifestations of human or Satanic evil to subserve the purposes of His own all-wise and sovereign will.
